That's not a plastic ball, that's an alien coccoon waiting for some unsuspecting child to take it home where it can hatch and take control of the child's mind. It will force the child to convince his/her friends to buy "plastic balls", thereby guaranteeing the complete take over of the human race by the aliens.
Something tells me that the toxic toys bill that passed in Olympia this year may deal with weird-ass crap like this. Of course, who knows what bizarre, advanced bio-poly-cyber-modified-genetic space age materials comprise stuff like this?
In all seriousness, plastic *is* pretty awesome. It's used for some pretty rad shit like spaceships and Saturn vehicles.
The problem is that we've had the tendency to use it for things that are meant to be thrown away, or things that are likely to just end up floating in an ocean, breaking down into individual plastic molecules and getting into our food supply.
Ban all of those talking figures things Walgreens has at any given time. The chortling Santa, the screaming skull, etc. The Bob Hope doll put me over the top.

But they are so sexy...
Those make your hands stink.
NO! Dan, dude, hear me out.
Those things are fucking awesome. I love investing in stupid, 99.9% useless shit. Do you know how fun those are to play with?! (For a minute or two.)
Anyway, they're adorable and loads of fun, and anyone who disagrees is an asshole.
And yes, I am a HUGE rubber chicken fan.
You should see my Boxing Nun!
My 4-year-old niece would be crushed.

Obviously Mr. Poe is already in their power...
@5 - By the banning of them? Or by the balls themselves?
That kind of looks like a koosh ball. I loved those. What ever happened to them?
Every time the Stranger gets self-righteous about plastic, I'm gonna flush a gallon of paint thinner down the toilet.
And it's all gonna be your fault.
@10,
It would be far more efficient if you dumped it in a storm drain.

As my dad always says, "It's freaky-assed."
For every plastic Tribble that you can see, there are 150 that are still hiding.
Poe, want to battle your boxing nun to the death against my boxing alien?

Let's do it!

I'm OK with shit floating in the ocean. I'm bored with all the sealife we know about, anyway. Fuckin' bitches!
@8, LOL!
#16, I'll have to dig it up. I might have sent it on it's way to float in the ocean during one of my recent moves.
That's my testicle. I thought I left it somewhere.

@11:
My preferred method is to dump it directly into a salmon-spawning stream - while they're spawning.
Koosh! I love 'em!
wouldn't it be simpler to ban Walgreens?
You'd like them a lot more if you had a touch of the asperger's.
yes please, ban the stupid things. I work there and I'm sick of picking up after your damned kids all fucking day long.
